Default Sport or Utility?

Which quad should I buy, '06 Grizzly or '06 yfz450? I like fast bikes but don't intend to race. I could use a utility around the house and possibly put a snow plow on it. A utility would also come in handy durring hunting season. I just can't decide. HELP!

If you are unable to afford two new ones.. , and you cannot decide on Sport or Utility, then I suggest you buy used, one of each.... Have the best of both worlds...

But based on what you said, it sounds like you would be better served with a Utility quad...

I agree, go with the ute. My cousin was having trouble with the same decision trying to pick between a suzuki z400 or eiger, he went with the ute and he's been happy with his choice.

Several years ago, I was trying to make the same decision.

I went with the Wolverine, classified then as a Sport/Utility. It's definitely not a racer, but with a few easy mods, has a nice feel on the trail. It will keep up with any other utility on the trails and will go places a Sport can not.

The Grizz does not handle like a Sport or Sport/Utility, but can go just about anywhere.

If you are going to be doing mostly house work, hunting, and other trail riding, I recommend the Grizz or possibly a Sport/Util.

Since going with the Sport/Util, I have never wished I had gone with the Sport.

Hunting and plowing snow? That would call for a utility how ever, I would wait till Yamaha releases their 07' line-up because they will prolly be adding EFI onto some of their utility quads this yr.

i know its a tuff decision i have a bruin and a warrior and im getting another one next spring been looking and looking and cant decide i like them both the warrior is just plain a blast to ride love it but not practical for hunting etc, i have to sell one to offset the price of the new one and its tuff, the bruin is great for its purpose for work hunting putting around etc, i think i will get a new ute until i take the warrior out then its man i need a new sport quad then i get practical and figure a new ute would be practical for everything until i take the warrior out, good luck man im glad i got a year to figure it out.
